#i’m just so quirky

[ur-mentallyill-wench]

Everyday I find myself ballfled that I actually have friends, I mean I’m not a bad person or anything but being friends with me is literally just having to deal with with me forcing whatever I’m hyper fixated on down your throat. “Have your listened to boygenius, they’re amazing,” “you need to watch Scott Pilgrim I love it,” “the song of Achilles it the best thing ever you have to read it,” (true) “watch community it’s so funny”. I’m kind of a hell hole to talk to and even when I do get them on board I’m way to into it to have a normal conversation

#I’m just so quirky #mabye I should work on actually developing a personality #boygenius #Scott pilgrim #spvtw #tsoa #the song of achilles #community tv

having adhd (or just generally being forgetful) is so fucking frustrating because you’ll lose something you literally just had in your hand and then proceed to go on a 45 minute quest to find said lost thing. meanwhile, you’re both the detective and the suspect, just trying to follow clues and patterns that make no sense. i’ll lose something, then grab my brain by the collar and go, “where tf is my charger. u just had it”. and my brain will just be like:

#actually adhd #adult adhd #attention deficit disorder (add) #attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #object permanence #forgetfulness #I hate it so much I have to hunt through clues as though it’s not my own brain and my own lack of object constancy #some nts will be like aw adhd is so cute and quirky meanwhile I’m fist fighting my hippocampus and defective dopamine receptors in an arena #adhd is in no way cute or quirky I break down crying on the regular bc it’s just so incredibly frustrating to not be able to remember #if u romanticize mental illness or neurodivergency I will steal all your bones

when you’re an undiagnosed autistic kid and you’re told you’re weird so much that it becomes a defining personality trait and now you can’t like “normal” things without having an identity crisis like 🤪✌️

i do not want to dig a hole but i am too much of a laura bailey pc enjoyer to not make this post so:

selfishness ≠ a lack of kindness 

selfishness is a theme that has come up with all of laura's main campaign pcs. that doesn't mean that her characters are always making selfish choices or that they don't care about the rest of the people they're with or that they're not good. it's just that, for the most part, the first thing they're thinking of when they take action or make choices is themselves. 

in jester and vex both it is more typical and obvious selfishness. vex's developed because she needed it to keep herself and vax alive and as safe as possible and it grew into a behaviour that she had to actively work to avoid. it's evident in her greed, her theft of the broom, her reaction to her own death which relied heavily on i'm okay/i survived to which keyleth reminded her that she wasn't the only one who had to witness and reckon with her death. in jester's case, she grew up in an environment that literally trained her to make every decision based on two things - her mother's opinion and her own. so, when she's out in the world without marion for the first time, her choices are those that will benefit her and her actions are those that consider her own thoughts and not really many others' (aside from the traveler's). 

it isn't a criticism of either vex or jester to say that they are characters who act selfishly. in fact, i'd argue that to claim otherwise does a great disservice to exactly how immense both of their character arcs are. because the nuance of both jester and vex is that they are selfish, and they also hold extreme room for self-sacrifice and empathy. vex is much more brash than jester is, and jester is much more trusting than vex, but both of them are characters who begin with selfish impulses who grow with them. neither ever truly shed those impulses, but they use them in new ways, typically transforming them into impulses towards things that are in the best interest of the party. 

you may have noticed the lack of imogen in this post about laura bailey pcs and that's because of two reasons. one, we are an unknown amount of time into her story, i can't analyse her development the same way i can vex and jester's. two, imogen's selfishness isn't the blatant quasi-self-aware selfishness that we see in things like jester complaining about her lack of money to caleb or vex stealing a broom. instead, imogen's is very internal, like a lot of laura's character work with imogen. it is a bit similar to jester’s in the sense that it comes from a lack of awareness moreso than vex’s practiced behaviour, but imogen’s is a lot more tied to inherent beliefs she has about the world and the people in it.

as a consequence of her powers, imogen sees people's thoughts as their entirety, she holds it above their actions to be the truth of who they are - to act against what they think or to say something that doesn’t cohere with what they’ve thought is akin to lying, so for her to act empathetically is to act in tandem with what someone else’s thoughts are, not how they act, which is typically not all that wanted. the same as vex’s greed and jester’s naivety, this is a trait that makes narrative sense and it’s one i find quite compelling, especially when read in the vein of someone struggling through trauma that has made them assume that the world is against them. imogen’s cynicism is coherent cynicism, i can’t say that in a similar situation i wouldn’t have the same predisposition towards the world.

the part that is particularly self-interested comes in if you look at how imogen has actually been treated in the campaign (quite well) in comparison to the cynicism that she’s developed from her past (something that speaks to a world out to get her). certainly, a bunch of shitty things have happened to imogen in the time we’ve known her, but the same can be said for everyone in bell’s hells and pretty much everyone in exandria at this point in time. but, in a fight to save the aforementioned world, imogen’s focus was getting her mother back on her side. which, while very consistent with her character and a choice that i enjoy, is a very selfish one. the fun thing (to me, obviously) about imogen is that she has, more than most, an insight into the opinions of others and she also tends to seek others’ opinions out and genuinely engages with them and supports their choices. but she still very much acts towards what she thinks is best. it’s one reason i enjoy looking at the dynamic between her and orym as one between foils, as orym tends to be stalwart in his beliefs and doesn’t care too much for other’s opinions if he’s already sure of his own, but his actions tend to favour collaboration and protecting others.

as i mentioned earlier, imogen is a harder case to look at because she is still in the process of her story. however, the circlet is clearly influencing how she interacts with the world and in the wake of the solstice, the hostile reaction towards ruidusborn people has started to become more and more apparent and i’m interested to see what route that ends up leading imogen down and how it will influence her relationship with the rest of bell’s hells. (for better, i think, based on recent conversations, but if it's for worse i will be just as seated and excited).

all of this is just to say, please stop assuming that claiming a character has a trait you think is a bad one is criticism or a hate post. in light of the fact that i know that people who don’t believe this will continue to not believe this, i’ll encourage anyone confused about the ability of a character to be good and kind and selfish all at once to look to what the text itself says, specifically scanlan’s words to pelor when asked what vex means to him:

“Her name is Vex, and she is greedy and mean sometimes, and she can steal a lot. She’s a little bit not the greatest person, but her flaws highlight everything that is right about her, which is she does all these things to protect her friends and her family. She would give her life for any of us and for anyone who was truly in need. And she’s not perfect but she’s the most perfect of all of us.”

would you look at that... an ability to be a multitude of things, some in conflict with one another. i know that's hard for fandoms to believe, especially about female characters with agency, but i promise its true!

#deeply unfair of laura to make three characters with some type of people skills and morality shaped by their loneliness #and what. i’m just supposed act like i’m normal about that? #this is me blog and i have slightly more time than usual to write nothing essays about fictional characters that haunt me #but dear god . lookin at cr characters and denying their flaws is like looking at a house and only seeing it’s doors . #if ppl demand perfection of fictional characters im genuinely curious in what media they’ve ever found that . #a single imogen post of mine broke containment and it skyrocketed my annoying phil student levels so. alas #but . if you agree that imogen had an incredibly isolating life . i will emphasize that isolation causes traits and behaviours #that aren’t just Quirky or fun or hot anger or whatever #imogen contains so much i love her so much i am bursting at the seams about it #but for some ppl. she is ur ‘girlfailure’ until someone suggests a way she might be girl failing by being selfinterested #what is the truth. do u want her to be an actual girlfailure it do u just want her to suit a . frankly tired. trope about lesbians #anyway . both text and tag rant over . goodnight #cr meta #imogen temult #vex’ahlia #vex’ahlia de rolo #jester lavorre #critical role #my posts

[chrollohearttags]

my whole YouTube feed is filled with videos about the Stanley cup/Sephora kid thing and maybe bc I haven’t used tiktok in months but I’m so lost as to why everybody, including the kids themselves is being blamed for this problem lmao.

#there’s only one enemy and that’s capitalism/consumerism #not to mention the parents who think being an ‘ipad kid’ is cute and quirky bc they don’t want to raise their kids beyond the baby stage #like why are you mad at an influencer who’s job it is to sell a product for not monitoring if ur children are watching #that beauty influencer is not selling to them or for them #they’re a business + brand marketing to other ppl their age #people who can actually afford the products #not somebody who barely has lunch money less known 3 bands to drop on drunk elephant #like I have so many young cousins/kids in my neighborhood who are being brought up this way + it’s the internet’s fault always #not the fact that their parents don’t do anything #and what gets me is that somebody like me who’s made content online like cosplay/anime or even writing fanfic #has to worry about censoring myself for some brat I’m not even thinking abt #and it hurts creatives who are just looking for an escape #when I’m reality the only problem is that these parents are lazy and expect some random youtuber to teach their kids the things they refuse #it takes a village yes but at the end of the day that responsibility lies on the person who birthed them #I’m sorry #cherry chats 🍒

What’s your pjo unpopular opinion babe ?🩷

I actually have a couple 🤪

Firstly, I COMPLETELY agree with you about Rick not always writing his own work. The essence of what made his old books is missing from his new ones imo, and people worship him a little too much because cmon…

And Percy’s kind of a dick sometimes but I like that about him

Also my biggest problem is with the show. I don’t like it all too much at all, but you get attacked for criticizing even the smallest thing. “WeLl RiCk ApPrOvEd” well what if I tell u something about my feelings towards Rick…

#pjo #ahaha I’m just so quirky #anyways 🤪 #rr crit #pjo tv show crit

mamau mamau mamau! @gloomybirdie i wanted to do something really colorful 

#atla #atla au #zuko #mamau #i’m so normal i don’t think about zuko with three thick ass braids on a daily basis #also sorry it's so messy it was like 36 celsius otsude and fever was like pretty pink color BLOP #and i just didn't feel like redrawing it cause it loses it's vibe #also my sick ass really thought that making an art on one layer is so cool and quirky #my art

[cheeseburgersinparadise]

the eras tour is so interesting bc like. she’s just average. she sings well and that’s good but she isn’t really a performer, she doesn’t even really have that much charisma - everything is scripted and practiced and it’s a fun show, sure. but there’s no genuineness to it. all manufactured and calculated and tbh it feels obvious to me, just a casual listener at best.

#anyway. #just kinda wanted to see what the hype is about #when you’re that huge you kind of lose any relatability and so it’s wild when ppl cry over her and say she’s so quirky and real #like she’s not #anyway I’m not like. hating or anything ppl are allowed but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #she got where she is bc she is moderately talented and has a great PR team #she’s white and grew up rich and is blonde and skinny #so like how could she not be famous lol

I would much rather see trans women’s dicks out and them loudly proclaiming how much they love their rape fetishes than to see another fucking phrenology post from white supremacists.

#discourse #nsft #mod Birdy 🪶 #for a site that loves to loudly profit off of how weird and quirky they are #even going so far as to plagiarize a joke from one of their users #and then have the audacity to ask them to change their name to something more palatable #they really love to ban people for the crime of being too weird and too popular #I don’t even think predstrogen broke guidelines #but I think it’s just funny #‘I’m fine with literal racism and transphobia but draw the line at genitalia and fantasy!’ #tumblr staff have made their website and culture unfucking liveable #and it’s nobody’s fault but their own

Don’t mind me I’m just still in my Ganon 🤝 Din camp

look at this perfect match

#I LOVE that they gave it Gan’s oot palette 😭 #Not just because I’m biased and this is one of my favorite color schemes but also because I’m a Din+Gan baby #And I KNOW they based the lightning on the fact that gan was a lightning user but they took that aWAY FROM HIM in the wilds era 😭😭😭 #They even took away his topaz !!! Canonically his most favorite gem !!! #And I’ve already yelled at friends but nothing is more rude than having Farosh — the one classically associated with greenery and forests — #patrolling over the desert I can’t dmndndnd #Back in the day the Gerudo weren’t magic users at all it’s just that Ganondorf was an evil sorcerer raised by witches you see #it was the 90s and Sabrina the Teenaged Witch was a little blonde white girl so her situation was quirky and fun but Gan’s was evil ykwim #funny enough Sabrina predates Zelda ! The comics came out in 1962! #Gan and twinrova is sabrina the teenage witch fic in my head forever now lmao

You know what would be really funny, is if people came together to have an anti-crab day. A day where every user who joined prior to automattic’s acquisition logged off for 24 hours to show that yes, actually, older user retention is important and you should listen us just as much as new users

The users giveth, the users taketh away

#this isn’t about the sidebar btw I’ve already said I don’t mind the sidebar #I think it could be a better sidebar like the 2014 tumblr layout which was great #but it’s Fine (tm) #this is about live and the new post editor and the apparent avatar removal bs ‘experiment’ #and it’s also about how these big overhauls keep being done meanwhile we can’t have like. a search function that works #or the queue reordering tools that already exist on mobile web applied to any other platform #you know. all the little stuff that’s comparatively easy to implement yet they ‘don’t have time’ for because they’re too busy #with these massive overhauls and ignoring all the asks that go to wip #also I don’t expect anyone to actually do this and I’m sure as hell not organizing anything cause that’s a lot of work lmao #but I think giving them money pre-emptivelt just showed they can do whatever they want and we’ll fall for it #taking away money would be more effective #idk I don’t think current staff are any better at running tumblr than yahoo was #they’re just better at the ‘we’re quirky and relatable just like you guys uwu’ bit #and a lot of us fell for it but I think the illusion is starting to lift #anyway idk it sucks here but all the other sites are either worse or empty so what can we do #(genuinely wtf can we do this nonsense is getting bad) #text #misc #shut up nerd #new layout stuff
